For the task ci/circleci: Build Android RN Bridge & Publish to Bintray the output is
Build initiated from a feature branch with no pull request: aborting. I am thinking this means this needs to be re-run?

Re-running since this PR exists.

Smoke tested the demo app, WPAndroid, and WPiOS and didn't see any issues.

I looked into the merge conflict a little, and it looks like that is occurring because the PR merging trunk into develop for 1.49.0 squashed the commits after resolving the conflicts, so now the conflicts are reappearing since GitHub doesn't realize they were already resolved. In other words, the presence of conflicts in this PR doesn't seem to indicate that anything is wrong.

Hey @mzorz 👋 while doing some sanity tests for the Story block on Android I encountered an issue and I was wondering if this is known, if it's something new or just specific to the device I used.

Can you please take a look at the issue I described here #3324 (comment) I added a video at the end of the comment. Thanks!

[geriux]

Update:

❌ Story block - Add media to non-empty Story block

When opening its all black, you have to select the second story for the content to show up, once you do that you can select the first one and see it too.

This one is being investigated.

The text added to the first story get removed

There's an open issue for this one already.

Buttons block - Buttons alignment options - TC007

⚠️ The Space between alignment shows in the toolbar but currently doesn't work because there's no support for it, items remain aligned to the left (issue) I don't think it's a blocker for the release.

A PR was opened to disable this new alignment but this won't be a blocker since it's not a new regression for this release.

[geriux]

Update:

❌ Story block - Add media to non-empty Story block

It is not a blocker for the Gutenberg mobile release, an issue was opened to fix it that and will be included either in WordPress-Android or stories-android.

With that, there aren't any blockers from Android (Test Suite 2).
